Arts and Crafts work in WalesThe biennial conference of the North American Association for the Study of Welsh Culture and History is an opportunity to hear current research from both sides of the Atlantic concerning the history, literature, language and the arts in Wales past and present. The 2006 conference was held in July at the University of Wales, Swansea. Martin Crampin, Artist, Researcher and Designer on the Imaging the Bible in Wales Project, presented a small sample of the material that has been recorded over the first year of the research project from places of worship throughout Wales. He contrasted the stained glass made by the large London firms established during the nineteenth century with stained glass made in the Arts and Crafts tradition, and demonstrated how this tradition carried over into other art forms found in churches in Wales. |
